Description
It would be nice if mc can do transliteration when copy/move files with filename encoding change. So we can easily tarnsliterate accented characters via select ASCII filename encoding with transliteration as target encoding.
man icon ... //TRANSLIT When the string "//TRANSLIT" is appended to --to-code, transliteration is activated. This means that when a character cannot be represented in the target character set, it can be approximated through one or several similarly looking characters.
It could be done an easy way, e.g. user have to add some flag to the encoding in the "to" path:
maybe a T or _ (underscore) after the encoding, or change the '#enc:' to '#enct' or something similar.
